Abstract

CONTAINMENT ANALYSIS OF TRUPACT-1. TRUPACT·I is a packaging which will be used to transport contact-handled transuranic (CH-TRU) wastes generated by defense programmes in the United States of America. The paper presents a general approach to the containment analysis for TRUPACT-1. The maximum activity per TRUPACT-1 packaging is determined for a stated seal leak rate and filter penetration efficiency in order to comply with regulatory release limits for normal and hypothetical accident conditions.
